Are you sure I'm winning the Rumble? That does'nt seem right.....

Big Dave said on today's WON that the reason they booked Tessa to lose is they didn't want a pushback from the fans due to "overpushing" her via a win against a top male wrestler.

WTF? It's the first inter gender main event where everyone wanted her to win. The first one the woman should win, you fools, otherwise it looks like the reason it's the first is that women aren't as good. It's really simple wrestling logic.

Also did anyone like any of the finishes? All the multi person/teams had the same finish (another person comes in and steals the pin) is hilarious.

Oh and I was wrong a few weeks ago about the first blood stip, the first blood match ending with broken kendo sword down the throat and vomiting blood did fit the feud.

The women’s Monster Ball finish ruled. Taya tossed a chair off camera perfectly at Havok

The tag match with that work-shoot injury felt really flat to me, but I enjoyed the rest. At least they were conscious enough not to give RVD a win.

I'm really hoping she gets the world title later in the year

Bound for Glory's in Chicago this October. A little over a year ago from then she got one of the bigger pops of the night winning the women's showcase at All In there. It'd easily be the pop of the night winning here

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Whether or not Tessa should have won aside I'm just not sure I'm interested in the company where Michael Elgin fights for the world title and Sami Callihan gives respect nods to performers to get them over.

And apparently all my favorite acts are leaving.

Pretty sure that main event's the highest rating he's given a match with a woman in TNA. Even Gail only had ***3/4 (also against Tessa http://profightdb.com/wrestler-star-ratings/gail-kim-385.html)

That show in "Toronto" on Sunday is actually in the wastes of Mississauga, at Santino's gym. And they don't seem to be advertising Tessa so it's a hard pass from me

Ah! I was just looking at an ad for it on Facebook which seemed to pointedly exclude mentioning her, but since it's a tv taping that makes more sense. Still not going though.

that reminds me of when they got bought out by the canadian ownership and ran some video packages of "WHERE IN THE WORLD ARE WE GOING?" with a shitload of stock footage of London England and wound up doing a bunch of tapings in like... Brampton or Guelph.

They're supposed to be taping this Sunday, but I'm not sure if it's a full taping it they're just getting some random matches to insert into the show.

TNA is gonna get a 5 star match in 2019 before WWE at this rate

LividLiquid
Apr 13, 2002

Dave's always been pretty open about the fact that a five-star match doesn't happen in a vacuum and the booking and crowd reaction are a big part of it, which frankly makes it ridiculous that individual workers would use him as an arbiter of whether or not something's good, but yeah. By those criteria, WWE isn't going to have a five start match for a very long time.

His focus is on acting. So that precludes WWE on grounds of their schedule and their restrictions on outside projects. He does Pro Wrestling to pay the bills these days. Otherwise, no one really knows.

Edit: wrong thread.

That Tessa / Sami video was cool tho. Also, they straight up did an all recap show last night. LOLTNA and all, but them not making the talent work tapings right after the PPV is not the worst thing ever.
